[Bug 44728] Re: [Bug 44728] Re: Gaim doesn't include SILC support

[Dennis Kaarsemaker]

In Ubuntu the packages are filled:

dennis at blackbird:~$ dpkg -L libsilc-1.0-2 libsilc-1.0-2-dev | wc -l
1142

They are a mess though, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=273871 which is
supposedly fixed in Debian but not yet in Ubuntu. Enabling the gaim silc
plugin will require:

1) A sync of libsilc from debian
2) A main inclusin report for libsilc
3) A patch to the gaim package

This will *not* happen for Dapper due to the various freezes that are
currently in effect.

I've testbuilt gaim with --enable-silc once for breezy (with the messy
libsilc package) and it seemed to work fine, so this will be a nice
thing to have in edgy.
